The new Afghan policy is articulated to achieve military victory as it is characterized with increasing military operation and escalation in aerial strikes in border areas of Pakistan and a new surge of 30,000 US troops to Afghanistan, seems a part of the strategy. It is important to note that for the first time, a timeline for the evacuation of NATO troops along with an exit strategy for the American forces has been given, following up the American presidential elections in November 2012. Although the interests of both Pakistan and US coincide yet Washington is not satisfied with Islamabad. This paper aims at discussing the US agenda in Afghanistan and its implications for Pakistan. It will look at the real intentions of US- whether it really wants to defeat Taliban or dismantle Al-Qaeda or both and is the new strategy likely to be effective? Surely it will be decided in the times to come, as it is not possible to predict about forestall future. The fundamental questions are about the success of this strategy as America could not win the war in last eight years, how could it assert its success by sending more troops? It seems that Obama’s new Afghan policy is indeed the formulation of its policy for Pakistan which is to come into effect from 2010. The policy carries many aspects of fears and dangers for Pakistan. It is doubted that the increased US troops is to build more pressure on Pakistan. Is it not likely that America is creating this situation under proper planning and is pushing Pakistan in this warfront? As this policy is a vivid picture of an endless conflict in the South Asian region, the paper is an effort to analyze and explore the covert groundwork through notorious organizations like black water and other foreign elements, which are organized by them to create chaos and confusion in Pakistan. What are their hidden designs? Why the number of high ranking US officials, NGOs, delegations, security agencies, diplomats and ‘spies’ have increased all of a sudden? These all aspects will be discussed in the paper.
